CRUX defends Pope Francis

A little while ago, after Cardinal Vigano made serious charges against Pope Francis concerning child abuse and other matters, CRUX came to his defense: “Sorry, but Francis-Viganò saga nothing new in Vatican scandals.” CRUX made no attempt to refute any charges. Instead, they showed that historically, popes have been accused of far worse – and with good reason.

CRUX apparently realized that their readers would soon forget the cardinal’s charges. In fact, the firestorm quickly fizzled, and now there is almost no sign of charring or ashes. But while CRUX presented only a very small sample of papal sins, you might want to check them out. The fact is, throughout the history of the papacy, sins have been far more evident than anything resembling holiness.
